Podaca Holidays
;img.crop(width:658%2Cheight:370))
Life really is a beach on Podaca holidays – this dinky town doles out a duo of beaches and a couple of snug restaurants.
Sleepy southerner
Zoom out on Croatia’s coastline and you’ll spy pretty Podaca on the sunny, southern half. It sits slap bang in the middle between Split and Dubrovnik – a two-hour drive from both. If that’s too far, there’s another big dog even closer, Makarska. Back at base, though, it’s all about beach, beach, beach.
Pebble perfection
Beach-wise, Podaca hit the jackpot. It’s got a pine-cuddled stretch on each side of town. For a quiet, pebbly patch, the main one sure goes the whole hog with facilities. There’s somewhere to eat, plus a watersports hut, where you can rent out jet-skis and boats.
Out and about
What Podaca lacks in attractions, it more than makes up for in natural good looks. This place has a ringside seat of Mount Biokovo, which means the hiking’s top-notch. Or you’ll find plenty of sightseeing stuff in nearby Makarska. It's packed with Medieval churches, fit-for-a-king palaces and al fresco markets.
